WDYT about creating a new package recipe in
‘gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm’, which inherits ‘recutils’ and sets build
system to ‘emacs-build-system’?  We will probably need to change
directory after unpack phase in this case, but we will not need to
maintain Emacs lisp files compilation manually.

I have prepared the following patch implementing this suggestion (thanks again, I'm much happier with this). I ended up putting it in databases.scm rather than emacs-xyz.scm so that it can live with the recutls definition, and not run afoul of the advice by Ludo’ in [0], "The lesson is: when inheriting from a package, do it in the module where it’s defined."

I have also set the inputs and native inputs to the empty lists, because as far as I can tell, the emacs mode does not depend on anything outside of the emacs-build-system.

Best,
Jack
